It is soooo hot! Had to walk the dogs early this am to beat the heat. I really cannot complain though, i have worn a sweatshirt several time this summer since moving to Chicago. Todays weather feels like what i left behind in NC, where it lasted for MONTHS!!

Man, you are on a roll with these stockings. I am amazed at how much you've gotten accomplished with these. We leave our blinds all closed to cave up and have the ceiling fans on. Now it's about 5 p.m. PST so I'm going to open up windows and turn on the house fan.

I love Turkey Vultures! Meg Swansen posted some photos of them recently - a wake of them in the early morning, all drying their wings (or warming, I am not sure exactly!) But fantastic photo op! Bravo!

Turkey Vultures scare me to death. I know they are harmless but they are creepy looking and when I see them they are usually sitting on something I don't want to see.Love the latest stocking. How on earth are you getting them done so fast?Thanks for the kind words about Daddio. He too had a terrible day yesterday. I left the place in tears and have not stopped bawling since. I hate this disease. It's so cruel.

You are on a roll! Didn't know that about white...explains why my white wool beret didn't felt, that plus I have a front loader washing machine and that doesn't work so well, either. Ah, live and learn!
